Scouting for Help

As a Scout & Molly’s owner, your staffing model is minimal.  Normal operating hours are Monday – Saturday 10:00 – 6:00 pm and Sunday 1:00 – 5:00pm.  To accommodate normal store hours, Franchisees will recruit one Style Scout Store Manager and 3-4 Style Scouts (Sales Associates).  The Style Scouts are typically part time and can vary from location to location in the number of part time Style Scouts.

The Industry

Clothing Boutiques in the US is a $25 billion industry with no dominant player in the industry. Boutiques are chic and people value the personalized service and attention they receive, the cozy ambiance and the unique merchandise that only a boutique can offer. Scout & Molly’s sell unique items rather than items which are mass marketed.

Spreading the Word

As a Scout and Molly’s franchisee, your investment comes with a results-focused marketing program that differentiates Scout and Molly’s from its competition and virtually all other franchise opportunities.

You will have a dedicated Marketing Team that will work diligently to design and help you tailor a marketing program for running your business.

Our team will create the following marketing programs to increase your clientele base:

• Direct mail pieces
• Print advertisements
• Flyers
• Brochures
• Grassroots programs
• Social media channels
• National public relations strategies

Tools You Can Use for Success

You will receive your own Scout & Molly’s website to promote local events, private parties, charity events, special items and new fashion lines.  The main Scout & Molly’s website will be continually updated to reflect new store openings, in the news and other fashion styles and tips.

Scout and Molly has a powerful, easy to use, cloud retail management system that will help you sell more, more profitably. From item entry through scan or lookup, to customer creation and lookup, we’ve got all the features you need in a point of sale (POS) including:

• Sales representative tracking
• Multi-store inventory lookup
• Gift card issuance and redemption
• Sales tax calculation and collection
• And much more!

Scout and Molly's POS system is completely web-based, so you can access it on any device with a modern web browser. The interface works with iPads, as well as Macs and PCs.

Beginning Stages

New Scout & Molly’s Franchisees will start the process of opening their boutique by beginning with real estate search.

Scout & Molly’s has created a complete real estate program that will help guide franchisees through all aspects of the process from locating a site to build-out. The Scout & Molly’s Real Estate program will help franchisees during the site selection process with letter of intent, negotiating a lease, architectures, obtaining permits, general contractor, construction process, and FF&E (furniture, fixtures and equipment).
